Riviera reveals details of two sensational new under 40-foot motor yachts

Sleek profile of the new Riviera 395 SUV model.

Riviera has announced two exciting new models to our expanding collection, the company’s first new under-40-foot models in nearly a decade.

Initial details of the sporty and adventurous 395 SUV and a blue-water 39-foot Open Flybridge were unveiled during the recent Sydney International Boat Show.

Both models will have their World Premieres in 2018.

The two models share a new hull and deck design, offering two generous staterooms and a large bathroom on the accommodation deck, a spacious saloon and an open cockpit perfectly designed for relaxing and entertaining or for a raft of water sports.

Both offer features and options not seen in these two collections previously. Riviera owner and Chairman Rodney Longhurst the motor yachts provide a compelling new entree to the Riviera family.

“These models offer exceptional boating options in an easy-to-handle size – the single-level entertaining that is in the DNA of our popular SUV collection and the go-anywhere attributes of our classic blue-water flybridge collection,” said Mr Longhurst.

“In these models, we have introduced a number of innovations that take the SUV and flybridge models to the next stage in Riviera’s evolution of continuous improvement. Among them are raised bulwarks on the side decks and we have introduced a foredeck sunlounge option on the flybridge model. The SUV collection has always offered this option.”

Entertainers’ and adventurers’ cockpit

The cockpit is a generous space for entertaining with comfortable seating for up to eight adults and is also the perfect platform for all manner of water sports.

A barbecue unit with a lid and LED lighting is set across the transom, facing forward and accessed from the swim platform so the chef is at the heart of the conversation and entertainment. The unit also includes a sink and food preparation space. Below the barbecue unit, a storage hatch opens from the top to store a tender outboard, oars, fenders, lines and fishing rods.

A seat is set under the awning window to port with a refrigerated unit under and pull-down seating is set into the coaming on both port and starboard sides. A storage or fish bin is built under the cockpit floor on the starboard side. An icemaker is located in the starboard forward quarter, under the ladder in the flybridge model.

Our talented design team is refining concepts for the flybridge layout and details will be released shortly.

Another feature new to the Riviera flybridge and SUV collections is raised bulwarks on the side decks. The raised bulwarks, which are up to 100mm in height from the deck, provide an additional level of security when moving forward or aft along the side decks.

Sunlovers will enjoy a moulded inset in the foredeck that can take a large sunlounge pod with integrated drink holders. This feature is well loved among SUV and Sport Yacht owners and is new to the flybridge collection.

Light and luxurious saloon

In the saloon, a lower helm and companion seat on the port side forward are standard, with a raised lounge opposite, providing views forward for guests and allowing the skipper, mate and crew to all interact while under way. A lift-up 32-inch TV is positioned forward of the lounge, making it viewable from every part of the saloon and the cockpit. Entertainment can also be provided through the radio and CD sound system with iPod interface.

Sunroof hatches are set on the port and starboard sides of the SUV hardtop, above the helm and forward lounge.

An aft galley on the starboard side includes an electric cooktop, sink and food preparation benchtop, under-bench convection microwave and deep drawer fridge.

The raised dining area, with L-shape seating, is on the port side opposite the galley offering sweeping views through the wrap-around windows, windscreen and aft through the glass bulkhead door and awning window.

The tinted-glass bulkhead between saloon and cockpit is made up of a fixed window behind the starboard-side lounge, an outward-opening stainless steel framed glass door and awning window on the port side.

Abundant accommodation

The lower deck provides sleeping accommodation in comfort for five adults in two cabins; a forward master stateroom with queen-size walk-around double bed and a midships cabin with three single berths.

The master stateroom includes a wardrobe on the port side aft quarter as well as overhead lockers and shelving for personal items on both sides.

The midships cabin includes a wardrobe at the entry. The twin beds on the starboard side can be converted with an infill into a large double bed. Ample storage is available under the twin beds and a clever two-metre-long storage cabinet is overhead, above the port bed, suitable for rod or lifejacket storage.

The very generous-size bathroom includes a vanity, Vacuflush toilet and separate shower stall. With two-way access, the bathroom can be utilised as the master ensuite and day head.

Light and fresh air throughout the accommodation deck is introduced by a clever design of windows, portholes and deck hatches. The master stateroom includes a aft-hinging deck hatch with insect screen and blind. Hull windows on both sides add more light. In the midships cabin, light is provided by generous windows, equipped on both sides with opening portholes. The bathroom is bathed in light through a large hull window that includes an opening porthole plus a deck hatch.

Power for the 39 flybridge and 395 SUV models comes from twin Volvo Penta D6 IPS 500 turbo diesel engines providing 272kw (370hp) with IPS 10 drive units.

The proven performance of Volvo Penta IPS offers excellent power-to-weight ratio, spirited performance, enhanced torque, improved fuel efficiency, simple slow-speed joystick maneuverability and quiet operation thanks to under-water exhausts. The system includes electronic variable rate steering and electronic controls including a joystick for slow speed manoeuvrability. The drive units are protected by the Volvo Penta Active Corrosion Protection System to complement sacrificial anodes and line cutters. All Volvo Penta components and electronics are covered by an industry-leading five-year warranty for further peace of mind.
